Project Runway: NOT HAPPY AT ALL

Gretchen Jones — despite being catty, manipulative and a dreadfully dull designer — was crowned the season 8 winner after an intense judges’ deliberation.

Her “Hippie Hooker” collection won out over Andy South’s underwhelming grays and greens. But, most tragically, she bested Mondo Guerra, whose final collection was full of color, drama, culture and happiness.

His inspired looks were like a fierce ice cream cone after a REALLY dull lunch.

Not happy. Not happy at all.

Who would wear this?

Gretchen won the season’s first two challenges, but she quickly dwindled into blah-wear and personal drama. She was weepy. She was manipulative. And she wore a see-through dress at the finale that seemed to expose her granny panties. (Even Ivy Higa turned against her during a too-brief reunion.)

To be fair, edgier styling improved Gretchen’s looks. But everything in her collection was loose, brown and muted. Didn’t Michael Costello — who should have been here — get ousted for the same things? WHAT GIVES JUDGES?

Not happy. Not happy at all.

Andy completely lost his sleek, rock ‘n’ roll sensibility. It was like a late-night, sci-fi sex comedy.

LOVE.

Mondo stayed true to himself — his weird, whimsical, wink-wink self. His clothes were fun throughout the entire season, and he incorporated his background in a smart way. Even his story was more engaging.

And I’m with Heidi Klum and guest judge Jessica Simpson. I loved his polka-dot dress.
